Study Notes
Population Pyramids
- Brazil's population pyramid shows a high life expectancy and an increasing dependency ratio
- Qatar's population pyramid shows a disparity between men and women

Migration
- Push factors are reasons people leave a place, and pull factors are reasons they move to a new place
- Maya leaving Ukraine for the United States is an example of emigration
- Job opportunities in the United States are a major pull factor for people from Latin America
Geography
- Latitude lines are imaginary east-west lines parallel to the Equator
- The Equator is an imaginary line that circles the globe horizontally at 0 degrees
- Longitude lines are imaginary lines that circle the globe from north to south
- A place's absolute location can be described with its street address
- GPS uses satellites to find an exact location
- All maps have some degree of distortion because they represent a 3D space on a 2D surface
- Different map projections can distort the size, shape, or orientation of features
Religion
- The Torah, Quran, and Bible are examples of holy texts
- Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are examples of monotheistic religions
